Must be getting harder and harder just to get a nut out there.
We don't have ground squirrels in my neighborhood, but the tree rats we have here are welcome to hunt all the voles they want!
What is considered to be a "California Ground Squirrel" looks a lot like a regular squirrel, unless they have just used a stock photo for showing their squirrels. And, the one in that image has what looks like a vole in his mouth.
Did you read the article?
Squirrels will eat insects and snakes so the above posting I do not find surprising, rabbits hamsters will eat their young. I have seen it.
Butterflies will drink blood and ladybugs will bite the crap out of you as will a cricket.
Nature is funny sometimes.
I shot a skunk in a buddies yard with an arrow and left it there and 4 days later the gophers pulled it under the ground and made a pile of dirt over it arrow still in the ground.
They made the skunk disappear!! Did they eat it.
Buddy pulled the arrow out of the ground and no skunk attached to it.
I spend way too much time in the woods maybe.

Have a fraternity brother who had in-laws that owned a large ranch outside Tulare, CA. They would either gas or poison the ground squirrels … we offered to shoot them.
Lot of fun with our 22’s. However, I had just bought a Sako in 375 H&H Magnum and wanted to test it and the Leupold 2x7 in a Pachmayr Low Swing mount on the ground squirrels. Hitting a ground squirrel with the 375 would create a reddish pink “mist” much like smoking a clay bird on the trap range.
